The demoscene is an international computer art subculture that specializes in creating self-contained programs that produce audio-visual presentations. The main goal of a demo is to exhibit programming, artistic, and musical skills within highly constrained limitations (for example, restricting the executable file to just 64k in size). Yes, you read that correctly: 64k. Quite honestly, you won’t believe what you’re seeing.
